Concert Review Paper
On November 1, 2013, I had the pleasure of attending an indie pop concert by the band Two Door Cinema Club. The concert occurred on a late Friday evening at the Fox Theater in Pomona. When I arrived at the theater, I did not expect there to be as many people as there were. I imagined that because the band was associated as indie, the venue would not have been entirely sold out. The line to get in was very long as it wrapped around the block and it took close to an hour to gain entry.
Right I as I stepped into the theater, I took note of how fast people were rushing to get a good view to see the performance. The seating was structured as all standing and there was a second floor balcony. My ticket was ground floor only there was a pit closer to the stage and a raised area behind the pit. I literally stood right next to the lights director which was located in the raised area that was directly centered across from the band. Unfortunately, I was not able to be with the entire group of friends that also went to the concert. There were four of us by the lights director and the other twelve were in the pit. The age of the general audience was from 15 to 25 although there were was more females than males in attendance.
When the band graced the stage, I also took note of the band’s attire. They dressed contemporary, looking like real rock stars. The lead singer and guitarist, Alex Trimble, wore a leather jacket over a jean jacket while the bassist, Kevin Baird, wore a Hawaiian-esque shirt. Sam Halliday, guitarist, wore a casual shirt and unofficial band member Ben Thompson, drummer, dressed more casually with his black tee.
Two Door Cinema Club, in my opinion, have very interesting performance practices. All their songs have a limited amount of parts to them. For instance, there is a riff for each part of the song (verse, chorus, and bridge) and there are no variations to
